You
may
think
that
a
restaurant
located
inside
of
an
aquarium,
with
dining
surrounded
by
a
huge
saltwater
fish
tank
and
mermaid
entertainment
sounds
a
bit
kitschy,
nothing
more
than
a
them
restaurant
with
mediocre
food,
but
you
would
be
very,
very
wrong.
I
recently
ate
at
Gaggan,
Bangkok's
most
famous
restaurant,
considered
to
be
Asia's
finest
restaurant
with
two
Michelin
stars.
Andasi's
chef's
menu
was
every
bit
the
culinary
adventure
-
an
odyssey
of
flavors,
textures
and
colors
-
but
eminently
more
eatable
than
Gaggan's
(I
particularly
liked
that
unlike
at
Gaaggan,
at
Andasi
I
was
not
requested
to
like
my
plate,
or
eat
any
dishes
off
my
bare
hand).
At
the
same
time,
the
shimmering
saltwater
fish
tank,
teaming
with
100
kilo
groupers,
tiger
sharks
and
multi-colored
stingrays,
made
for
a
mesmerising
setting.
When
the
the
mermaid
and
merman
appeared
in
the
tank,
their
synchronised
swimming
was
like
an
underwater
ballet.
What
could
easily
have
been
corny,
was
absolutely
stunning.
The
only
problem
I
had
with
the
food
was
that
among
the
3
choices
for
desert,
there
wasn't
one
chocolate
option!
And
my
only
complaint
was
that
it
took
a
little
long
to
get
the
check
and
pay
(but
the
manager
did
say
that
our
chef's
menu
was
custom
made
due
to
my
dietary
restrictions,
so
the
staff
struggled
with
the
POS).
Even
despite
these
small
problems,
I
would
highly
recommend
Andasi
and
would
go
so
far
as
to
say
that
it
is
the
one
absolute
cannnot-miss
restaurant
in
Phuket.
